I see nearly everyone talks about upscaling their image and video gens to 4K, 8K and perhaps beyond. Now nearly every WF comes with an upscale portion tied to it either after decode or even from the latent output. I always wondered - what do people do with all those 4K or 8K images or videos? Do they watch it on their high res monitor or TV, or do they make wall sized printed posters? I honestly want to know - why do people upscale post gen and what they do with the upscaled output? A simple 1 MP image takes up approx 1.5 MB of SSD space, so those 4K or 8K outputs must be hogging serious space on the SSD. So, why do it, if they aren't used somehow. The only time I upscale is when I am making a dataset for LoRA training. That too I use 1x upscale option just to sharpen up the images. I generate or curate images for the datasets at around 1 MP. I am truly both curious and baffled at the same time, with other people's fascinations about upscaling. Would love to hear the others' thoughts. submitted by /u/DietAshamed2246 [link] [comments]
